POST-MORTEM HELD, AND LOST MONEY DISCOVERED.

Drs. English and Kresler made a post-mortem examination Sunday morning, on the boey of Fred Trussell, when it was exhumed from the temporary burial at Fair Oaks. The most interesting result of the postmortem was the discovery of the missing SSO which the young man drew at the bank the day he disappeared, On removal of the shoes and stockings the entire sum was found. There was $46 in paper and $1 in silver in one stocking and four silver dollars in the other. The examination further showed that the death wound was not in the head, there being no bullet hole in the skull. The decomposed condition of the body made it impossible to determine for a certainty if there was a wound in the chest, but what was evidently a bullet hole, with powder marks around it, was found in the ooat over the het rt. The permanent burial was made in Weston oeuittary following o brief funeral service at the grave and a short but touching end ap propriate sermon by Rev. J. L. Brady at one p. m. Sunday. A consider-.bl* audience was present at the funeral.
